Power Tools for Guiding Instruction
Lino-It!
Lino-It is an online tool (and free app) that works very much like Padlet. Teachers and students can create digital bulletin boards with notes that look like actual "sticky notes."
This tool would work great for several different types of formative assessments:
- Entry or Exit Tickets
- Assessing Background Knowledge
- Think-Pair-Share a sticky
- Backchannel (cures the "hand always raised" syndrome and allows for all voices in activities such as Socratic Seminars)
Below is an example wall from our "Power Tools" session last week. Feel free to add your ideas to it! http://linoit.com/users/alysoncarp1/canvases/Formative%20Assessment
